I have to admit I am beginning to break a little nervous. 

Mark,

Nervous = normal.

If you feel your stomach vibrating and making weird sounds ask your surgeon to call his cell phone! 

Good Luck Monday!

My surgery was the first one on a Monday morning.  I was afraid the doctor had forgotten the procedure over the weekend!!  You let your mind go to strange places before surgery...  You should be fine.  Cleaning out your system Sunday night is a headache and the no food or drink is a pain.  But you've planned this for quite a while.  You thought (prayed) about whether you are doing the right thing.  Bye the way...I couldn't sleep the night before (just me).  I woke up my wife at 3 am the night before, to ask her if I was doing the right thing.  She kindly said yes, comforted me...She went back to sleep...I stayed awake all night.  Hang in there...There is a lot of hurry up and wait for the next few weeks.  As the days go by (post surgery) it gets easier and easier.  Brian
